A dose of heavy rain

This is the usual view of Glencoe Swale from our home this time of year-

This is definitely not what we normally expect to see out our front window-

Precipitation amounts recorded in the Glencoe West rain gauge measured: 1.47 inches on February 11 and 2.75 inches on February 12. The total of 4.22 inches of rain created many areas of high water.

Time for a Glencoe Swale/Creek field-trip… On with the rain gear, grab my camera, and out the door I head with my husband. We’re off for an afternoon outing to investigate water-levels along the watershed from the headwaters to confluence with McKay Creek.
